Man Utd transfer news: Hernan Crespo makes bold transfer prediction for Red Devils target
HERNAN CRESPO reckons Manchester United target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic would be “great” if he moves to the Premier League.
Jose Mourinho has earmarked the Lazio star as the perfect replacement for Michael Carrick who is hanging up his boots and moving across to the backroom staff.
With Marouane Fellaini’s future increasingly uncertain, Mourinho is short of bodies in his Manchester United midfield.
Recent reports have suggested that Juventus have agreed a deal to sign Milinkovic-Savic.
Some claims have surfaced indicating that the 23-year-old could fetch as much as £87million.
And Argentina legend Crespo thinks Savic would flourish if he took the plunge and moved to England.
If he went to the Premier League next season, he would be great
“Milinkovic-Savic is a great player,” he told Goal.
“He is a player that plays everywhere. He is very physical.
“If he went to the Premier League next season, he would be great. He plays very well as a physical midfielder and he gets into the box almost effortlessly.
“I think he is ready to play for any club in Europe.
“I don’t talk about money but he is very strong.”
